Thank you for your response. I always deal with sinus congestion or allergies living in XXXXXXX I had my gallbladder removed in January and so I was concerned that the bile in my body may be the cause of burning in throat. As for as burning in chest, only on occasions, but not all the time. Can you recommend a better over the counter medicine to take. Thanks for your time
Brief Answer:
pantaprazole+ domperidone.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Thanks for considering my answer and for your follow up.
For acid reflux, you can try over the counter medication ( ppi inhibitor pantaprazole) + pro kinetic (domperidone), twice daily before food.
Related to sinus infection, requires antibiotics and decongestants (needs medical prescription for dosage and strength).
Hope, I have answered your query.
Take care.
